openmentoring-mobile's Issues

Make search always visible on topics page

Setting to auto-download and auto-update content

SUMMARY

Please describe the feature you would like to be added?
During initial app setup, users can choose update settings: Auto-update - on wifi, any time, manually. Can also change on settings page. Possibly also an 'update all' button for people doing manual updates.

Why do you think this is an important feature?
Many users are less bandwidth-conscious and may be put off by the constant need to update topics. Too many clicks on the cloud icon.

As a Mentee I want to be able to provide feedback on the learning content - whether it was helpful, reporting errors, etc.

As a Mentee I want to find out when content I've already learned gets updated

When a unit is selected, download and unzip the corresponding topic zip file

As a Mentee I want to be able to configure a different device than the one on which I'm consuming learning content

As a Mentee I want to find a solution to a specific problem I have in digital security

As a Mentee I want to be prodded to proceed to an advanced topic if I have completed a basic topic (and not continued for a few days)

As a Mentee I want to receive suggestions for learning topics if I have not engaged in digisec learning for a while (e.g., 2 weeks)

As a Mentee, I want to read news about topics in digital security and the threat landscape

As a Mentee I want to be able to bookmark/pin topics of interest so I can revisit them easily later

As a Mentee I want to see the most relevant content to my scenario (profession, OS/device, and threat level) and level of understanding first

As a Mentee I want to be able to test the concepts and walkthroughs I have done by connecting to safe and secure "bots" that verify I am doing the right things without compromising others or myself

As a Mentee I want to know how long a topic will take to complete before I start it

As a Mentee I want to get positive feedback and encouragement (e.g., badges, progress bars, etc.) that I am making progress

As a user, any content that I request should be done so securely and anonymously

As a Mentee I want to be able to configure the device on which I'm consuming learning content, without losing my place

Differentiate icon for 'download topic' and 'update topic'

SUMMARY

Please describe the feature you would like to be added?
Differentiate icon for 'download topic' and 'update topic'. Instead of a cloud/download icon, either the word 'update' in a nice colour, or some other good icon.

Why do you think this is an important feature?
Users who have downloaded topics will be confused/frustrated that the topics they have already downloaded again have the download icon. They will have the feeling of forever downloading the same thing. Updating is more logical/positive.

As a Mentee I want walkthroughs of apps and/or settings that guide me in setting up my security

Pull to refresh text shows when dragging down halfway

When dragging the topic screen a little without going up to the point where the arrow turns up, then when releasing the "Pull to Refresh..." text stays half visible under the search box.

Hide units unless a topic is expanded on the topics screen

As a user, I should be able to reset any information captured from my usage (settings, downloaded content, "completed" status)

As a Mentee I want the learning content to adapt to me as I progress through it

Add a proper build process with a unit test runner

As a Mentee I want to educate myself about topics in digital security, without a specific problem in mind

Images in units do not load

Images in units need their urls modified upon display to point to versions on the local filesystem

Add simple, title-based filtering of topics and units

Retrieve content index from configured url and display the list of topics and units

As a Mentee I want to consume learning content in small chunks that I can complete in a short timeframe in my busy day (e.g., 5-15 minutes)

Enable app links to get to specific units

As a Mentee I want to find an answer to a specific question I have about digital security

Show example search terms on the topics screen

As a Mentee I want my information (settings, progress, etc.) to remain on my device

As a Mentor I want to easily and securely direct a Mentee to specific content to answer a question or address a problem

Search window glitch

SUMMARY

On which screen were you BEFORE the problem occurred?
... Home window
Which ACTION did you do that led to the problem?
... I tapped the search button on the upper right corner of the home/Topic window and searched for "chat" where I got some options below.
I selected my desired option from the displayed.
What PROBLEM happened?
...in the unit window I had selected, the search bar above the window remained and with even the optional buttons on the search bar, it could not respond.
It's irritating that it remains hanging on the page and as well can be gotten rid of.
What did you EXPECT instead?
...1. I would expect the back button on the left of the search bar to respond by making the bar disappear.
2. I would expect the search button on the top right of the search bar to take new search requests
